We are now Officially Waiting! Though it may seem like a technicality of wording, this is a very big deal. This means our agency received all of our dossier paperwork and all was in order. They are now sending things to the Ethiopian Embassy and on to the Ethiopians to await our match with an infant 0-12 months (or twins if they happen to have any, who knows?).
What a relief. Though we have about 12 months of wait time, we have lots to do. Work, work, work and start a nursery list, maybe begin decorating and gathering travel stuff (you have to take just about everything when you go get a baby in a 3rd world country. That should keep us busy for a while. We won't have much to share over the next few months, but will fill you in as often as we can and update you on what life of waiting is like for us! In the meantime...Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future and into a family!
What are our plans? We hope to do some traveling (talked about Alaska --moose!) and live the single life while we are able. And pray that we are able to actually handle this parenting thing that we have worked so hard to obtain!

Awesome! I hope that we are close behind you in getting the dossier completed. Who knows...maybe we will travel together!
